Summary:
Today we get to learn about one of the most amazing days in the history of Godís people: the day of Pentecost, when God sent the power of His Holy Spirit upon his church. The question is, what happened that day, and what does it mean for us today? Letís find out:
Outline:
The Day of Pentecost was:
1. The dawn of a new creation
2. The dawn of a new Exodus
3. The breaking of an ancient curse
4. Should we expect Pentecost today?
Verse:
Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, ďRepent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Discussion questions:
1. Why did God send His Spirit on the day of Pentecost? What did it produce? What was the significance of the Spirit coming in wind and fire? Why was it significant that they believers began speaking in tongues?
2. Should we expect that the events of Pentecost should or do still happen today? Why or why not? Why might this be a unique, unrepeatable event?
3. How does the Day of Pentecost show you the faithfulness of Jesus (see 2:22-33) to complete his mission and care for his church?
